I have eaten at the Larchmont location 3x’s and each and every one of those 3x’s I saw a pretty big-name celebrity.
So don’t know if it was just luck but if you like celeb-spotting you may want to give this location a try.
2 – Monty’s Good Burger
Description:
Yes! Monty’s 100% plant-based burgers look just like a regular burger. If you are looking for a juicy delicious plant-based burger, this is where you want to go.
Enjoy it with french fries or tater tots and they also serve floats and shakes, delicious cookies, and Monty’s very own organic craft soda.
So probably not the best choice if you are looking to watch your weight but perfect for you treat/cheat day if you love Vegan food.

Do you have friends in your group who absolutely refuse to eat Vegan? Well, no worries Mohawk Bend is the right spot.
Not only do they have amazing craft beers but they have a few meat choices on their mostly Vegan menu so there is something tasty for the whole party.
